1.  NW
LoL. Even if they blow out the Buckeyes in Indianapolis you couldn't justify ranking the Wildcats higher than third without ignoring half of their season.
Now what? 
Michigan still looks like #1 overall but they looked like complete crap today.
Ohio State looked great today but looked like complete crap against UMD and PU.
Iowa has generally looked good, but they are 0-4 against B1G bowl teams.
Northwestern keeps managing to win ugly but they barely beat RU, barely beat IL, and had a horrible OOC.
Wisconsin has looked good at times but just got blown out in the Axe game.
This is getting harder rather than easier.

I disagree about power ranking the teams. The regular season results are in. It may be a season in utter disarray, but generally you can go by the teams' conference records, and maybe some allowance for nonconference records, and some allowance for how the teams finished.

1. Ohio State
2. Northwestern
3. Michigan
4. Penn State
5. Iowa?
6. Wisconsin?
7. Purdue?
8. Michigan State
9. Nebraska?
10. Minnesota?
11. Maryland
12. Indiana
13. Illinois
14. Rutgers

Okay, Medina, you win. It is harder than it looks when you get into the soft middle of the Big Ten.

I believe NW is suffering from the same problem PSU had in 2016.  Voters were late to recognize a shift that had occured in the middle of the season and teams that were not good early got better during the season.

Good golly

1. Ohio State: Well, for this week at least.  Not sure there was actual defensive improvement, but the offense has been at ludicrous speed the past two weeks.  They finally got their running game figured out, and Haskins is seeing everything.  But Northwestern isn't going to be an easy task - they are much more comfortable playing back in zone and making the Bucks earn every inch.

2. Michigan: Many times you're the bear, but not always.  Also, this team has not traveled well this year.  

3. Northwestern: Off to Indy for the Cats.  The Buckeyes probably aren't who they were expecting, but it's who they've got, and probably a better matchup for them if they can slow things down.

4. Penn State: Not the season they hoped for, but overall hardly a bad year. 

5. Iowa: Four losses this year by a total of 21 points.  They were strong, just couldn't quite get the breaks they needed.

6. Purdue: Got themselves into a bowl game after some early losses, and have rounded into a strong team.

7. Nebraska: Sort of Purdue light, need to get the defense sorted out, but have also rounded into a good team.

8. Minnesota: I'm struggling with where to put these teams, but they certainly looked the part against Wisconsin.

9. Wisconsin: They have fallen into a hole, which is tough to figure out because they still run the ball like Wisconsin.  Everything else, not so much.

10. Michigan State: Not a season resume ranking, but a right now this team can't score against 11 guys from this board ranking.

11. Maryland: The most bipolar team on this list - either pretty good or very bad depending on the day.

12. Indiana: Never quite had enough this year.

13. Illinois: Well, not completely terrible

14. Rutgers: Completely terrible

I have to assume it’s from Kirk Ferentz’s agent. ;)
It tells me that when Iowa was dealt the perfect hand of a crossover schedule they still couldn’t close the deal.
I don’t know that the data says much. It was an odd B1G year. When the wheels fell of for teams, they really fell off in games, even for the likes of OSU, Michigan, and others.

The Top 5 seems pretty easy to line up if you account for body of work and results you would expect on a neutral field next week. Every team appears to have a major head scratcher result:

1. Ohio State
2. Michigan
3. Northwestern - debated 3 or 4 here. Making it to Indy but the resume is REALLY weak. Lost to Michigan H2H at home + Akron + Duke losses + near disaster against Rutgers.
4. Penn State
5. Iowa
6. Nebraska
7. Purdue
8. Maryland
9. Michigan State (might be #1 D + #14 O = 8 or 9 overall)
10. Minnesota
11. Wisconsin
12. Indiana
13. Illinois
14. Rutgers

Once again I really don't feel like I can do rankings as yesterday was the first round of games I've seen since October.



What I did see makes me question if UW could even beat Rutger at this time. The Badgers looked horrible yesterday and I see no way forward given the circumstances right now. They are a beaten-down team.
U RAH RAH! WIS CON SIN!

Statistically the Badgers did well against Minnesota, but not in turnovers. Hornibrook should have sat out. When the starting QB is having a bad day, I don't understand the reluctance of coaches to bring in the backup, even if only for a couple series.
The Badgers were spiraling down all year to a degree. Maybe next year.
